Kurt Busch and reckless driving

Everyone who follows Nascar knows by now that Kurt Busch was cited for reckless driving in Phoenix last week. Initially it was said that he was drunk, later accounts stated that he had only one drink and was under the legal limit when tested at the command post. He was tested at the […]
